Author: I'll Be Right Back

Back in February, when I posted a short update about my move to London, I had absolutely no idea how the next few months would unravel. As I mentioned, after I got back from my backpacking trip, I very quickly managed to land my dream job and had moved to the capital by November. The […]

Since I got home from our backpacking trip in August, I have been decidedly quiet on the blogging front. If I’m honest, I feel like I’ve been going a million miles an hour since landing back in the UK in August, and this site has been the furthest thing from my mind. From the time […]

It’s a strange post to write. Most bloggers boast about how amazing the world is, how they made the most of every single minute of travel. However ever since I got home in August (why does that sound so long ago?!) I have had the niggling feeling that I did not make the most of […]

Perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea, the temple of Uluwatu is one of the most spiritual Balinese sea temples on the island. Not surprisingly this also leads it to being one of the most popular tourist sites as well. Placed within easy driving distance from Ubud, Seminyak and Jimbaran, it is […]

After the regret of not having completed his Advanced PADI course in Koh Tao, Matt was determined to get certified in Bali before we headed home. We therefore made time to head to the east coast region of Amed for a few days. Amed is one of many popular areas in Bali for diving, however […]

Known as the spiritual capital of Bali, Ubud is a hub of cultural activity. In fact, apart from a beach side location it has everything you could ask for from a holiday destination. We spent four days here right at the beginning of our final three weeks and I found it to be a delightfully […]

One thing to know before you book that plane ticket is that Fiji is rather expensive. In fact, I think due to the high number of imported products from Australia and New Zealand, a lot of the Pacific Islands are. Unfortunately we failed to do any research into this and ended up being those people […]

Although we only spent two weeks in Fiji, it’s the kind of place that captures your heart almost immediately. The country is like nowhere else I have ever been and while the mainland isn’t spectacular by any means, the islands are the closest to stereotypical paradise that I have experienced. Here are just 5 reasons […]

As many of you know we spent the majority of our time travelling the East Coast of Australia by camper van and as this is quite a popular way of seeing both New Zealand and Australia, I thought I would give a bit of an overview of our experience of both living in a camper […]
